Puget Sound geoduck farming may harm marine life

• TACOMA, Wash. -- Raising geoducks may endanger inland marine life and tidelands, Pierce County planners say, a finding that could likely complicate the county's permit process for farming the ugly but lucrative giant clams.

• Highlights of the decision were provided in an e-mail Wednesday to County Council member Terry Lee, who had inquired about the status of a permit application. The News Tribune found the correspondence Thursday during a review of geoduck (GOO'-ee-duck) permit records.

• Kathleen Larrabee, a county Planning and Land Services Department supervisor who drafted the decision, told the newspaper that notices were sent within the past week to two permit applicants. One, Taylor Shellfish Farms, the West Coast's largest geoduck grower, is fighting efforts to close the harvest at its geoduck farm on Case Inlet.



• Similar letters probably will be sent to six other permit applications later, Larrabee said.

• "If that applies to one geoduck farm, it has to apply to each geoduck farm," she said.

• Growers may then drop their applications or modify their plans, issue an environmental report on how they would deal with the planners' concerns or offer scientific evidence to dispute the county's assessment.

• "This shows a lot of wisdom on Pierce County's part despite the legal challenge the industry has promised," said Laura Hendricks of the Gig Harbor area, a spokeswoman for the Coalition to Protect Puget Sound Habitat.

• For more than a year, the coalition has sought a county requirement for a full environmental review before any new geoduck farms are authorized. The group contends that intensive shellfish farming harms shorelines, fish and wildlife.

• "We are pleased to see the process moving forward and the issues getting more defined," Taylor spokesman Bill Dewey said, explaining that his company will offer scientific research to meet the county's concerns.

• "There's actually been a fair amount of work done," Dewey said. "We'll just have to wait and see how it comes out."."

• A dispute over Taylor's geoduck farm northwest of Joemma Beach State Park resumes Monday in Thurston County Superior Court in Olympia. The coalition has asked a judge to overturn a Pierce County decision that allows Taylor to harvest clams despite expiration of a permit.

•Most geoduck farming operations cover beaches with thousands of plastic tubes and yards of netting to protect baby clams from predators.•County officials found three potential problems - possible contamination of the wild geoduck gene pool, a potential for release of buried toxins when the big bivalves are harvested a threat of damage to other organisms along the beach.



Solar Car Draws Attention On Trip

Man Driving Solar Car Across North America

• WHITEHORSE, Yukon -- Marcelo da Luz isn't from outer space. He's from Toronto. But some people think he's in a UFO.

• Da Luz is driving a solar-powered car across North America. He said he's been pulled over seven times in his saucer-shaped car.

• According to da Luz, an officer chased him down in Alaska, after someone called 911 with a report of a UFO on the road.

• He left Buffalo, N.Y., in June, headed for Canada's Northwest Territories. He said he's spent his life savings, borrowed money and is living off his credit cards. But da Luz is out to prove there's a sunny-side to driving -- with solar power.



Champion liar tells good, clean story

• BURLINGTON, Wis. — Gordon Zwicky's outrageous tale about his trip to Florida earned him top honors in this year's Burlington Liars Club contest. Zwicky, 72, beat out 299 other entries from 31 states and Canada. Zwicky claimed he and his wife, Dorothy, won the lottery and decided to drive to Florida. Their neighbor told them they would be fine as long as they paid attention to the road signs. ''Thirty miles from home they saw a sign stating, 'Clean Restrooms Ahead.' Two months later they arrived in Florida,'' the tale read. By that time, they had cleaned 450 restrooms using 267 rolls of paper towels, three cases of bowl cleaner and 86 bottles of Windex. They were so tired, they immediately left for home.
